With flexible options and the ability to recycle my posts and publish to all major social media platforms helps me be more efficient as a social media manager. Another is the top-notch support I receive from the team. They're there listening, but more importantly, they act on customer's suggestions and follows up to make sure I'm getting the features I need. > > **Cons**: SocialBu has addressed all my suggestions. It's perfect for me now. > > When I was looking for a new social media management tool after my old one raised its pricing to 3x my subscription, I tried ALL the social media management tools, trying to find one that will have the features I need at a reasonable cost. After a month of doing that, hands down, SocialBu surpassed them all. Their recycle feature alone makes them stand out from the rest and the number of accounts you can connect with their cheapest plan is more than what others are offering. In the beginning, there were features I needed that weren't there, but as I explained how these features impacted my word, they slowly implemented them in incremental upgrades\! What business does that nowadays? They proactively ask for feedback and suggestions and listen to their customers' needs... and I believe that's crucial to the success of a business. It must know the different ways their customers are using their application. Very happy to be part of the SocialBu family and I highly recommend it. It's not just a tool but a partnership that listens and evolves with you. ----- ### "Simple. Straightforward. Solid." — 4.0/5 > **George** | *18 September 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Really enjoying using SocialBu after trying a huge number of similar tools in my time. The visual scheduler is especially valuable, along with the ability to add multiple profiles quickly and simply. > > **Cons**: I haven't stretched the tool to any great lengths, but I did have some issues in setting up Bluesky integrations. Some clearer tutorials would be helpful. > > Really enjoying the visual scheduler and calendar functionality, that's the greatest boon for the service. I've tried many of these tools in the past and SocialBu does seem to cut a lot of the extraneous chaff that you often get and just focus on the basics, which is very welcome. ----- ### "This Thing Does Not Work" — 1.0/5 > **Loren** | *10 January 2021* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the thought of it working. The concept is great if it worked. There was nothing good about it because nothing worked. The only thing I could like is their description on their web site but that is a bold faced lie considering nothing works. > > **Cons**: The cons are everything. There is no way, shape in you know what that any positive review here is real. If you tried to use this thing, you would laugh. It does not even come close to working. I have tried everything including trying it. Letting time go by after complaining over and over about how shotty it is. The thing barely saves. It barely posts anything let alone in any timely way. Its a crap shoot and you get so lucky if the thing posted. > > An absolute waste of time and total frustration. You know it takes many hours for anything to come full circle to see if this type of a program works and when it does nothing...its the worst. The entire point of this thing is so you can go on your merry way and do your work. Instead you have constantly check. You have to constantly try to get any attention with customer servioce. OMG. Its a huge battle. When ironocally, its a job like watching automatic sprinklers and these people have not grasped the automated factor that should be the spirit of this app or platform. I wasted days trying to get this thing to work. Let alone in any consistent way. Its the worst false sense of security quite frankly to think something you pay fr actually does its job. Its crazy how people can sell this as non open siource product...this is a total WIP) ----- ### "good for the cost" — 4.0/5 > **Nicole** | *17 September 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: being able to provide a link for people to add their social media account, this has made it much easier to reconnect accounts. > > **Cons**: it is not easy to see which accounts did not post. It is not a friendly calendar. I also do not like that I can't add tags to my accounts. > > ok for the cost. Some features are very limited and you would have to upgrade in order to make them work ----- ### "Easy to Use and Effective" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *12 September 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have found SocialBU to be very effective for posting to multiple social media accounts simultaneously. We sincerely appreciate their support for non-profits. > > **Cons**: The Teams/Accounts/Users is confusing to me. I feel like there should be a central place to add Accounts and Users then assign them to teams, rather than having all of them under "Teams". But maybe that's just me. > > It's been good. I sincerely appreciate your discount for non-profits and the not-too-difficult process for getting that approval. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/72675/socialbu?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/72675/socialbu) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
